Tim Burton
Director, producer and screenwriter Tim Burton is known for such films as Beetlejuice and Edward Scissorhands, which blend themes of fantasy and horror. He is the source of many of my favorite childhood movies. His horror is usually mixed with a large dose of humor and the absurd, making it easy to laugh off a nightmare.

Christopher Nolan is best known for his existential explorations of time and memory. He is intrigued and fascinated by the perception of reality and identity. He is known as one of the most imaginative and innovative storytellers today. He is a director of psychologically demanding movies.
A Nolan film makes demands of its audience, you need to leave preconceptions at the door and devote time after viewing to analysis and heated conversations. Beware the Nolan hyper volume, his musical scores sometimes drown out dialogue.
Still a youngish director, Nolan has the potential for many more great films in him. Hopefully he can get better at the sound production and leave our grasp of reality intact.
